Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cut the zucchini into thin slices lengthwise and the celery into pieces no longer than 5 cm.
  • Prepare a liquid cream with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of sake, salt, pepper, glutamate, and a few tablespoons of oil.
  • Immerse the fish and vegetables in the prepared liquid cream and let them marinate, turning them occasionally, for at least an hour.
  • Prepare the batter by beating the 2 egg whites until very stiff and gently adding the flour, the remaining cornstarch, and the sake.
  • Thin the batter with a few tablespoons of cold water, if necessary, and finally add a tablespoon of baking powder.
  • Just before serving, drain the shrimp from the marinade, dip them in the batter, and fry them in very hot oil.
  • Drain the fried shrimp on a rack to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the fried shrimp on hot plates.

Notes

Add a slightly spicy soy sauce for an extra flavor kick.
